Maybe you still have them in the Marketplace Listings window in your SL viewer.

I use the Firestorm viewer and it has 4 tabs called All / Listed / Unlisted / Unassociated, maybe it's in one of these.

I think the keyword spam flagging happens when you use very generic keyboards, and that's bad for the search.

I've looked at your Marketplace and you have a "coffee table" there, which already is coveredin the description, but you still use "coffee" and "table" as keywords - you don't need that! You also seem to repeat the keywords in the Features, although it is already in the product description. Try not to do that, if it's one place already, the search will find it.

If you are unsure what shows up in keywords, you can inspect the page source of your Marketplace listing, and look for something like this:

But you're ok sending this message to every single open collar user when then log on ? Everytime.

No, I don't send it everytime. I send it one time.

I'm not sure why my news system is all of a sudden such an issue, I've been having that in place since the OpenCollar 3.9 API era in 2013, and used it many times for things that were not related to the collar but to my community.

Not everyone is running an ice cold business where everything is business related.

I never have, I never will.

Imagine paying 1.2k Lindens for a collar only to have the maker turn into into a spam machine. Troll or no troll, you've got to see how that's messed up, @Wendy Starfall

Nice try. None of this money ends up on my account, as these collars are particularly supporting one other coder, the mesh artist, and the sim.

My core product, is cost-free, and until now always has been.

Everyone knows that. If you want to throw mud, you have to get a mud cannon. ☺️

Actually, anyone with some solid IT experience with applications, databases, and coding would know it.

You cannot know something that you can only guess. We are obviously both professionals, and we have different opinions. That's okay, but assuming that you actually knew things without any insight, data, source code, or model, is not how we do it.

So..why now, why you, why them....why not before, why not others, why not for other reasons?

I think what you mean is: Why not me?

Earlier I responded to you that I'm sorry you couldn't get the help that you needed, when you needed it. But to be quite frank? This is not about you, or some past event.

It's about a current issue, that affects people globally, and as it just so happens, we are users of a platform that includes many, many artists and content creators, who need help now, not yesterday or in the past, but right now.

You know what? I think petitions like this only make LL less likely to do anything like that, as it would look like they could be forced to dance like a bear in the circus, if a resident just demands it loud enough.

It's a petition, not a demand, and unlike how some people choose to communicate themselves here, it is also not a polemic.

The fees exist to keep LL viable. With so many businesses dead in the water atm......any that can weather this storm, well more power to them. LL's fees are not extraordinary. This is not a hardship.

Well, when I still was doing commissions, and in the course of things getting more "expensive", it reached a point for me where I had to give away more than half of what I earned (obviously including things like income tax and other costs), but that was before I quit doing commissions and splits. People in other countries have a different situation.

1. I need SL to remain stable and ONLINE ... so I am willing to pay those fees every time. No SL= no store for Tara = no small income to help get by. Running a business costs money. And thank the gods that the cost in SL is nothing compared to running an RL business.

2. I need SL to help keep my mind off it all. It helps ease my anxiety to log in and work on stuff, play a little dress up and chat with peeps.

LL needs those fees to ensure, I can have 1. and 2. available to me.

None of us know the numbers well enough to validate that assumption.

We can only make educated guesses, as long time SL content creators.

My guess is that reducing or even waiving payment processing fee for 30 to 45 days only for the "Resident 2" economic limits tier and below, isn't going to make a dent in Linden Lab's revenue, while it might (excuse the language) quite literally save some peoples' butts.

I think though that lowering private region tier would probably have more negative effects on Linden Lab's revenue, but I wasn't suggesting that, I said "any or all" of all those fees.

Why does THIS crisis, and the people it is affecting now, carry more importance for you than past crises other people have suffered, thereby warranting a larger handout, a larger hand up? I have seen people in sl go through some pretty *****ty stuff, people who had, or have, profit margins of all sizes. I have never seen you once step in and ask for relief for those people.

I'm not ranking anything by importance, but as you seem to know me, you should know that I do stuff like that every once in a while.

I have a banner, a large flag, at Arcadia that regularly changes to make aware of social issues. I also was starting to use my personal blog and twitter more frequently.

Issues I brought to attention were among other things, mass shootings and car massacres, memorials for deceased humanitarians, women's rights, issues concerning the LGBTQ+ community, climate change, cancer support for children, and other causes.

Those content creators who are in the "Resident 2", or lower, economic limits tier, who's real life business lay dormant during this crisis, and who rely on the small income they make on SL with their little brands.

Wow. I made two posts, two very short posts, and I'm tearing your comments apart?

I'm sorry but you seem to only argue for the sake of arguing.

That's what it is when taking short, not even whole sentences, into quotes, to try changing the context of the actual comment. It's a method used by trolls to derail topics.

I'm trying to defend my position with eloquence, even as a non-native speaker, sound reason, and my humanity. I don't think in numbers at the end of the day, I think in love.

And that is what we need right now during distancing, anxiety and financial ruin.

If someones ONLY income is what they earn in SL AND they are ONLY making roughly US $1000 per month, then they probably should not even own a private region.

I'm not sure how you conclude that from the comment you quoted.

But let me out on a limb:

What if owning a private region is their way to promote their business, and not having that mechanic to advertise and vend their products would mean that the hypothetical 1,000 USD they generally earn that way, got reduced to something like 200 USD?

I'm sure there are SL creators who need the small income they make here. How do you propose to identify them? I don't believe you can.

A first and fast way to identify them would be to look at their economic limits tier.

I know you're just trying to be helpful during hard times but you haven't thought this thing all the way through.

I have thought this through as well as I can based on the limited information that I have.

That's why I said lower or waive "any or all" of these fees.

This could be anything. In my personal opinion to most simple to implement, and reasonable would be the process credit fee of 5%, reducing that to 2.5% or waiving it for some 30 days might not be a lot, but at least something, and be it only a gesture of good will.

SL business owners of all sizes will benefit. They don't need a handout from LL.

I respect your opinion, but that is not what I believe.

I think that the big brands will benefit, but not so the small brands, in particular those who are "Resident 2" or lower.

Much of the reactions in the comments here show that, in my opinion.

There appears to be lots of anger coming from those above "Resident 2" because it doesn't include them, but they don't depend on the 20 to 100 dollars extra this month to get by, as they all earn more than 1,999 USD in 30 days, and not less.

This isn't a measure that has to be in place for a long time. It is something that is done, for, let's say a 30 day window, or a 45 day window, or some limited time that would work.

I was posting this topic because I hoped to get opinions and ideas on how this could work, unfortunately most who are participating in this thread seem to argue for the sake of argueing, criticise the way I chose to broadcast my petition, and out-right wipe it off the table.

There is very little dialectic going on here, and that is quite surprising me, because this is not what I know from my own community, or communities on other MMOs.

I have gathered your other belittling comments into this handy basket.

Thanks for that "handy basket".

It's a good quick reference to see how people were treating me on this topic, for those who didn't want to read through all of the comments, because you are linking to the whole post, and reading any of those tells a quite different story.
